Cool thanks for the info Seth. Ansible looks interesting, its a
configuration orchestration component akin to Puppet / Chef is it not?
Does it do any provisioning in itself?

The ec2_create utility on your blog seems to call out to euca2ools to do
the actual provisioning on ec2 correct? You'd still want a component
such as Deltacloud to abstractify commands to different cloud providers
would you not?
